Bungoma Affordable Housing Project (Kanduyi Airstrip)

Affordable housing, urban development, employment creation, city status progress, land utilization

President William Ruto announced plans to develop affordable housing at the degazetted Kanduyi Airstrip in Bungoma town during a visit to the county. The project is part of the government's broader affordable housing agenda and Ruto's vision to elevate Bungoma to city status. The former airstrip provides a large tract of government land suitable for housing development in the growing urban centre. The project would complement other planned developments including 15 modern markets across Bungoma County. Details on the number of housing units, cost, and timeline are being developed as part of the broader urbanization strategy for Bungoma.

Addresses housing deficit in Bungoma, one of western Kenya's fastest-growing urban centres. The project aligns with the national affordable housing agenda and supports Bungoma's aspirations for city status.
